The scripts are parsed once when the game switches a mission, or when the map reset vote is called
Lua programming guide is available at https://www.lua.org/pil/1.html and a quick reference at https://www.lua.org/manual/5.4/
Mission lua scripts are managed by $script_manager entity with popscript targetname
All mission and $script_mananger scripts are in a global scope and can access each other
scripts/globals.lua is always parsed before mission scripts
scripts/library.lua contains function definitons provided by the game library
